Excellent! Environmentally sympathetic, and economically prudent. It's the ability to create such an intelligent way of living, that sets us humans apart from the other chest-thumping primates. Every time I throw another can or milk container in the bin I think "can't we use these again as building materials or something?" Well these guys have proven that we can.

Can anyone imagine a British Council allowing someone to build an earthship in the UK, a guy I know over near Wadebridge had enough trouble building his Eco friendly home in an old quarry.

Actually there are two earthships in the UK already, one in England, Brighton to be exact and one up in Fife, Scotland.
